"In Winter the bare boughs that seem..." - Quote by Rumi

“Raise your words, not voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder.”

“Be patient where you sit in the dark. The dawn is coming”

“Humble living does not diminish. It fills. Going back to a simpler self gives wisdom.”

“We don't get paid for activity, just for being right. As to how long we'll wait, we'll wait indefinitely.”

“A wretched soul, bruised with adversity, We bid be quiet when we hear it cry. But were we burd'ned with like weight of pain, As much or more we should ourselves complain: So thou, that hast no unkind mate to grieve thee, With urging helpless patience wouldst relieve me; But if thou live to see like right bereft, This fool-begged patience in thee will be left.”

“Do not be deceived! The busiest people harbor the greatest weariness, their restlessness is weakness--they no longer have the capacity for waiting and idleness.”

“Be deeply satisfied and ready for more.”

“One way to learn to do something right is to do something wrong. Failure must teach us, or surely success will not reward us.”

“Contentment with life is not a feeling, but it is a decision we must make. Contentment does not mean that we never want to see change or improvement, but it does mean we can be happy where we are and will do the best we can with what we have. It also means we will maintain an attitude that allows us to enjoy the gift of life.”
